When does Puberty end?

Hi there! Puberty, unclear to some people, is a stage when childhood changes to adulthood. Childhood ends and adulthood starts, then puberty takes place.

Puberty occurs to both boys and girls; Puberty can start at age 9, some age 10, and for girls, it would end by 14, and for boys, it would end by 15 or 16. So, according to the summary above, 14-year-old girls and girls under 14 years are childhood girls while 'girls' above 14 years of age are adulthood girls which I can conveniently call 'ladies.' In comparison to boy's, 15-year-old boys and boys under 15 years are childhood boys while 'boys' above 15, above 16 preferably, are adulthood boys which I can conveniently call 'guys' or 'gentlemen.'

Puberty does not end abruptly. It shows some signs of its ending. It shows it for boys, it shows it for girls, differently. So, for girls, here are some signs it will show:
Change in Breast growth - from childhood's breast to adulthood's.

• Hair growth in private parts
• Fully developed genitals.
• Height stops. They might not grow any taller. These are to show that puberty is about to end, not after Puberty ends.

Note that! These signs show in boys undergoing puberty:

• Voice becomes deep and deeper.
• Noticeable growth in penis and/or testicles
• Hair growth in the body.

Although, some people might be delayed, they might not undergo Puberty at the normal age one does undergo it, that's called Later Puberty. It might be a gene causing it. Abnormal growth can hinder puberty.

Signs of delayed puberty for boys

• At age 14, their testicle would be hardly 1 inch.
• At age 13, their penis won't have matured yet.
• At age 15, no or low hair would grow where it should grow when one's undergoing puberty.
• Voice does not deepen.
• No sign of growth.

Signs of delayed puberty in girls

• Their breasts won't develop as it should by age 13.
• Even at age 16, they won't have started menstruating.
• Hair does not grow where it ought to grow when a girl is undergoing puberty.
• Undeveloped Ureter
• Delayed growth.

What is the latest age for a boy/girl to undergo puberty?

• The normal age for a girl to start undergoing puberty is 11, while for boys is 12. But, a child can start before or after 11&12. If puberty does not exceed 14 or sub-sceed 8, it is still normal. But anything short of that falls to 'Later Puberty' category.

Here is the summary:

Puberty range: 8-14 Later Puberty: 15 above, but sometimes 16 to 17 depending. Any child who is 7 years of age can't undergo puberty!
